So you're new to the world of kids music and don't have time to burrow the archives of a website that's more than a decade old? What are you saying, that kids take up a lot of time?

$9.99 Kindie Music Videos in the Age of YouTube: A presentation I did for a kids music conference in 2013, highlighting some of the diversity in kids music video styles. You could do a lot worse for 14 videos than watching the embedded playlist.

Fids and Kamily Awards: An annual "best-of" survey I help administer, featuring the votes of more than 2 dozen people who listen to way more kids music than I do. I like to think I have a pretty good ear, but checking out the yearly awards here is a great way of finding out what a broad consensus of folks think is the best in kids' music.
